As every one else has said, it was a shock to see Sakura's name on the Bridge thread. I would have never thought to see her name here because she was such favorite of the forum.

I hope you heal soon from her loss, and concentrate on all of the good memories with Sakura. I love all of the pictures you posted!!! The baby pictures are awesome as well as the binky pics. I am so glad she was able to share her life with you, and that you shared with all of us.

Binky free little Sakura. ray:

I can't believe this, its so unfair :tears2:.

Sakura had such a beautiful spirit that always showed through in her pictures. I'm so sorry you lost her :hug:

Binky free, Sakura. :bunnyangel:

I loved reading about Sakura and seeing her pictures, you took the best pics of her. I'm so sorry that you lost her, she really was a special bunny.



RIP Sakura.

I have a confession.

A few days before Sakura passed I adopted a bun, named her after a rat I know someone has (Ceara - "sea-air-rah" or "sea-a-rah" however you'd like to pronounce it).

I tried to take her back this morning but they wont have her and it's all a huge complicated mess and I don't know what to do.

Any advice would be great. In the mean time I'm struggling to even look at this bun but Mats feeding her and all that for me.

I don't want her but can't just give her away as god knows what could happen to her. I don't trust myself or other people to take care of her so I'm struggling.

She was being held at my grandmas place for 2 days as muy grandma bought her for me and she's been at mine for a few - outdoors as she's an outdoors bunny, ex-breeder. I haven't even touched her once. At all.


I'm struggling mega with this and need some ideas on what to do with her.


I miss Sakura so much and it hurts to look at another nethie, Ceara is a black fox, she is like a black Sakura.

Help? Someone?

I'm not really sure why you chose this other little gal at the time. If you wanted to give her a home, and make her part of your life at that time, I don't think that would disrespect Sakura's memory in any way. It's not like you were just "replacing", like Sakura didn't even matter. I think it is just a sad twist of events.

When one little fuzz leaves, I think it is best if another little fuzz gets the opportunity to have a loving home. That being said, only you know if you are ready for another rabbit. If you are not, then I guess you must find her a good home.

I know that you will look out for Ceara, whatever happens :hug:

I know, the timing was all bad. It was arranged to get her a couple weeks prior if anyone we knew was going down that way or the owner was coming up this, and she was kind of far away. Grandma was going on holiday to visit her stepbrother and his new wife, so they picked her up for me, as they had to go past where Ceara was living.

I took the longest drive of my life this morning, I'm actually not allowed to be driving right now because of fines I got the other day so I was scared, to try and take her back. I went about it all wrong and should have arranged something with them first. They are moving and cutting down on buns so were really angry with me.

It was meant to be this huge happy surprise and make a thread on here and bla bla bla and Sakura got sick at the same time it was all going on. But because she seemed to recover so well, I didn't do anything sooner about finding out if Ceara could go back - I assumed, as you do, that my pet would be fine and things would be fine and they could bond in a couple of months once Ceara gets spayed.


I know I messed up, I'm useless like I keep saying. I do wrong things all the time. I just can't seem to ever do the right thing.

I don't want rabbits at all, any more, ever. Why would I want to subject some poor animal to what's obviously a cursed and useless owner?

At the same time, I owe it to Ceara to do the right thing, I just don't know what that right thing is.

I hate hate hate hate hate this situation and I can't even think about another bunny right at this moment.

I'm sorry to rant and rave and I'd best not post here I guess if I'm going to be like this because I can't see past my own selfish grief right now.

That's grief, and self-blame talking right now. As long as you did your best, you didn't do anything wrong. I don't expect you to have superhero powers to save a dying rabbit. That's not reality.
The reality is that you are a very good bunny mom, who did her very best in a tough situation. You did not mess up. Messing up would be ignoring a sick rabbit, to let it fend for itself. You didn't do that... you tried to heal her.

Grief isn't selfish. It is a very real part of life and deep love. Don't forget though, you gave Sakura a wonderful home with lots of love, and everything a bunny heart could wish for. You gave her Paradise. It's going to hurt for a long time... but this was not your fault. Sakura knows that, and so does anyone who's ever corresponded or talked to you.

Ceara can't get a better person in her life than you. If you can give that to her, by all means. If not, you can find her a wonderful home.
:hug: Hugging you tight.

I just read back on my post and I am sorry, because it wasn't a very nice reply to what you said :?. Thanks so much for your input and caring .

I am just so angry at myself and the world at the moment. Just feel that nothing is fair, or works out how it's meant to.

I have brought Ceara inside on advice from a great friend. She proceeded to honk and snort and hump my arm while hanging on with her teeth for grim life (ouch). Ceara that is, not the friend.

I did get a picture though, I had some NIC cubes as a pen for...well I dunno, for in case I needed one, Sakura never did as she had her own bedroom. But anyway here she is.

Who knows, maybe the timing was right and she's meant to help me feel better, I just can't see that right now. She sure has a fine set of teeth though at least that's...good?

 

[JadeIcing]

Don't send her away yet. Give yourself time.

 

[NorthernAutumn]

No worries
She looks like a little prize-fighter in that shot. I love her beautiful coat.
The look in her eye says, "I need someone to understand and love me..."

Im so sorry for your loss, Michelle. I havent been on the forum much lately to look at blogs but a few times I would browse through and see pics of her and she just made me smile. She always looked like she had so much personality!

Your pictures of her are beautiful. That one of the two of you is priceless.

Youre in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace little one :rainbow:

 

[Elf Mommy]

Ceara is beautiful. Perhaps she was meant to help your heart heal.

 

[Numbat]

I am so sorry for your loss. Binky free Sakura!

But I don't think you should give up! You love bunnies and they have a great home with you. I don't think Sakura would mind if you gave Ceara a great home. She looks like a great little bun. Hope you work everything out.

 

[MyLOVEABLES!!]

Michelle,

im sorry i just sa this thread.. im really sorry i dint see this earlier.

Sakura was a great bunny.. I cant believe she's gone.. what a tragedy.

Michele i dnt think you should give up either.. i think time will heal your pain. In my opinion ithink Sakura was the one telling you to get another bun.

I loved the pics of Sakura.





My PM box is open for you anytime you can talk and rantto me about Sakura all you want



Love Prisca xx

 

[PixieStixxxx]

I am so sorry that you lost Sakura =[

 

[TinysMom]

Its been obvious that Sakura was truly a heart bunny for you and I know you miss her terribly.

Yet sometimes - we need something else or someone else to help us move out of our grief and heal easier.

I don't think it was wrong of you to get Ceara - and perhaps it was something you were lead to do because Sakura was going to pass....I don't know.

All that I know - is that when GingerSpice passed - when Puck passed - when Tiny passed - even when New Hope passed....sometimes the only things that got me going and made me keep going - was the fact that I had other rabbits that needed me.

I'd moan and groan and talk about how "that's it - I'm rehoming ALL the rabbits" and then I'd think about this one - and that one and another one and it would be like, "ok...I'm rehoming all of them except this list...".

My point? When I had no strength - I managed to be strong enough to take care of the rabbits anyway...they gave me the motivation to keep on going until I WANTED to keep on going.

I know it will be hard to build a relationship with Ceara. It will never ever be the same as it was with Sakura. But it can be good anyway.

I truly believe Zeus was meant to be with us after Tiny passed. I don't have anywhere near the same relationship with him that I had with Tiny...but having him here does help on those hard days.

I guess what I'm saying is - its ok to love Ceara. It won't be the same type of relationship - but that is ok too.

And I LOVE Ceara...I really do. She's gorgeous. She reminds me of my Tio!

 

[irishbunny]

I just saw this, I'm so sorry you lost Sakura, she seemed to be a very popular bun here on the forum.

Ceara is a beautiful little girl, don't give her away just yet, you might regret it when you are feeling a bit better.
